Nutrition

Doctors today are telling us to eat less meat and dairy. What other ways can we get our protein? We can’t eat fish all the time.

Beans and grains are a time-honored way to get plenty of protein with low fat, high fiber and no cholesterol. Sprouts: Alfalfa, Mung Bean, and Bean Mix, are beans that have been sprouted and are a wonderful option for a variety of vegetarian meals.

Grown locally year round, sprouts are a good source of protein and vitamin C. 3 ounces of Mung Beansprouts contain 30 calories. A 12-ounce bag served as a side dish or salad is enough for 4 to 6 people. See below to view our sprout nutrition chart which compares alfalfa, mung bean, radish, soybean and wheat sprouts.
